The week runs from 11/14 to 11/23. Lineups will lock after the first game for each player, so make sure you check the site before Friday. Also, lineups must conform to the 4G, 4F, 2C and 2FLX. If these aren't set right, you could lose scoring for the week with an illegal lineup.

This site is the best for injuries. Fantrax does a decent job of updating status reports on players, but this one is pretty much the best I've seen.

Thus far, I've received payments from Reclegend22, Mulva, Terry Tate, Birddog23, Iliketurtles, Pick6, Goonx19 (he's going to win :RpS_mellow

, Sportswizhurd and Ohiobucks1. Payment can be sent to [email protected].

I hate having bench guys... I've spent 30 minutes trying to decide between my last starter. I think I've pretty much decided on it though. Can not wait for the season to start.

Thanks for putting everything together again for this Azu.

If the NCAA could go ahead and announce a ruling on Tashawn Thomas, that would be great.

It makes no sense. They rule on hundreds of players before the season. Also, they get cases that are opened and closed within a week. It's not like the support for his eligibility is changing, is it?

Here you go Goon:

Payouts
$180 1st
$90 2nd
$50 3rd
$50 reg. season winner
$25 MVP (team with highest individual scorer, he must play at least 20 games)
$20 highest scoring team overall
$5 weekly ($65 total)

Also if anyone has ESPN Insider Jay Bilas's College Basketball Preview is out. Pretty funny stuff and good insight as well. I thought it was funny I have 3 out of the 11 guys on his undervalued, underappreciated and overlooked team.

Attn Mulva. Just got this email. From what I've seen, usually players aren't added until there is something definitive about them being eligible. We'll see what this means.

Hi Scott,

The following players have been added to the player pool as free agents, and are now available to be claimed, in your NCAAB fantasy league named Ohio Chatter CBB 2014-15

Thomas, TaShawn Okla F,Flx

Thanks,
The Administrator

If TaShawn Thomas is eligible and beasts like he usually did I'm going to be so pissed at myself for not taking him with the pick before that like I planned. Just forgot about it and went with someone else. Rookie mistake.

After I got the email about Thomas being added, I went to twitter to see if he was ruled eligible and I saw this...

@GoodmanESPN: Key decisions still pending: Oklahoma's TaShawn Thomas (waiver), Markus Kennedy's eligibility at SMU, Louisville's Shaqquan Aaron (NCAA).

Goodman received a tweet back saying that Daniel House is also in limbo. I know someone has Kennedy, anyone have House?

Kennedy ineligible for 1st semester. Blow to Pick6. Bigger blow to SMU.

Dammit. Was just checking this earlier and no news was out yet. Read an article today that had him tabbed as the AAC POY. If i'm thinking right, he should only be out for about a month?

No later than the 3rd week of December. Honestly, it could be worth the gamble to bench him a few weeks and then have a chance to pick up the best remaining player out there. You may actually benefit a bit. Only negative is he'd be eligible later in the year for someone else, and not you.

Honestly, I think Moreira will be a big part of that team and is very underrated. Of course, the fact that he's a center makes it even more evident. I almost picked him over Obekpa. I may regret that.

Assuming the shadowed players are the reserves, it looks like a few rosters still need adjusting. Posting it now so nobody can bitch later.

Thanks for the heads up, I thought I had mine set but I guess not. Good to go now at least.

Lol I knew I tried to avoid drafting underclassman but can't believe Cliff Alexander is my only non Junior or Senior haha.

Also looks like Alan Williams finally got listed at a F/C. Too bad WCS is still only listed as a F.

S&L and Sportswiz currently with illegal lineups. I have the power to edit them if needed, but I'd think the only fair way to do it would be draft position. Please, both of you, edit your shit! I'm kind of unsure how the scoring will treat it, but Fantrax says an illegal lineup will result in no scoring for the period. It means we're going to have to manually adjust it!

Is it good now?

Also, hope you got my $40

Got everyone's money now. Thanks all. It's good.

Also, the illegal lineup was set by default because I set everyone as "active" from the draft. You shouldn't be able to have an illegal lineup anymore without it prompting you, so we're all good.

This bench stuff is going to piss me off. I guarantee 2 of my 3 guys on the bench will just go off.
